Vi ved godt, at fake news er alle vegne i dag. Men nogle løgne er så vilde, at de bliver »tåbelige«.
Sådan beskriver dagens gæst den konspirationsteori, der har bredt sig om Brigitte Macron.
Den amerikanske influencer Candace Owens har fået millioner af sine følgere til at tro på, at den franske præsidentfrue er født som mand.
Som modsvar har præsidenten i ytringsfrihedens eget moderland, Emmanuel Macron, startet en retssag og sat en privatdetektiv til at undersøge Owens motiver for at sprede løgnen.
Men hvorfor ignorerer Macron-parret det ikke bare? Og hvorfor er konspirationsteorien guf for Kreml?
